Question: III. PROBLEM SOLVING ( 3 5 points ) 1 . Problem 1 ( 5 points ) : A steel bar that is 4 m long

III. PROBLEM SOLVING (35 points)
1. Problem 1(5 points): A steel bar that is 4 m long and \(200\mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) in cross-section is subjected to an axial pull of 20 kN . The Modulus of Elasticity of the bar is \(\mathrm{E}=200\) GPa.
a. Draw the bar showing its length and the external force (1 point)
b. Convert the length into mm (1 point)
c. Convert the Load/Axial Pull into Newtons (1 point)
d. Convert the Modulus of Elasticity into \(\mathrm{N}/\mathrm{mm}^{2}\)
e. Find the elongation of the bar \(\delta \mathrm{l}\)(1 point)
2. Problem 2(5 points): A brass bar of cross section \(600\mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) is acted upon by the forces shown below. For brass, consider E =200 GPa.
a. Draw the free body diagram of section A-B (1 point)
b. Draw the free body diagram of section B-C (1 point)
c. Draw the free body diagram of section C-D (1 point)
d. Determine the total elongation of the bar (2 points)
